Does not inform clinical practice; leaves open potassium's role in the human exercise pressor reflex.
Does potassium injection into the gracilis artery increase arterial pressure and heart rate in chloralose-anesthetized dogs?
Potassium at interstitial concentrations observed during static contraction can stimulate afferents responsible for reflex cardiovascular responses.
Rybicki et al. (1984) studied this question.
